Did you actually re-input the serial number? I know of one a while ago that give someone SC995 if you didn't put the first letter of the serial number in as a capital letter.

the serial Number stored in the NV Ram matches the one listed in the data plate

Sorry - I was referring to the documentation postet here before. Now I checked back the serive manual myself and got a different description for that SC code:

I don't have an english manual but freely translated it says that there's been a mismatch between the controller board and the engine (board?). This can happen if someone replaces a board for the 3025 instead of 3030 or if the DIP switch settings on these boards are wrong.

I recheck the serial number that is already saved ( i did not entred it myself) , it is correct and matches the one printed in the factory Data Sheets that come with the machine.
i Re-checked the Dip Swiches, they are in the correct positions.
I Re- Cheked the CBU Board Type, it is the correct Board Type of Aficio 3030 MP
Kindly note that the board worked properly when i moved it to another 3030 MP machine, but when i installed new BCU in the promlematic copier, the SC 995 poped up again.

According to the parts manual there's just one BCU board available, so no chance to confuse anything.

I'd say you have either not the right NV ram installed or a wrong revision of the controller board. Sometimes the parts number is printed on a label you can find on the controller board (unfortunately this number isn't always compareable with the parts guide number). You should first find out the product code of your machine (B205/B209/Doo7 or D008) - I think it's written on the serial number plate as well. With this information you could try to figure out if the correctcontroller board revision is installed.

You could also compare the code with the other machine you've used for testing. In case both product codes are the same AND the controller board might be the issue you should get the same error if you try installing the controller board (including NV rams) of your SC995 machine into the machine that shows no SC code. So if the issue moves you'll know that the controller board or the nv rams must be causing this. To determine if it's maybe just the NV Ram you can swap these first since it's less work.

My copier is up again
the problem was in a switch in the SBCU board, it was in the wrong position !!! ( a switch that its bank contains only two switches, i Think it is switch 103)
thanks everybody, talk to you in my next thread.

I have seen many codes that I couldn't find the problem. Turning the machine on while holding down the # and * key forces the machine into a self diagnotics mode Whyen finished it will print a report. The printout will show a different code. fix the code instead. Ignore the centronics port error, it shows up on every machine.
